My thoughts:

When Pillsbury asked me and some other food bloggers to come up with some creative recipes using refrigerated dough, I thought it would be fun to try and make something that was as "uncookie" as possible. I did some experimenting with a giant tube of cookie dough and was excited to find out that if I rolled it into a ball and popped it into a mini muffin tin it would rise then fall forming the perfect cookie cup. I rolled the dough in white sparkling sugar for a little pizzazz and crunch. I filled it with lemon curd and topped with some zest for a extra burst of lemon flavor. These were really simple to make (especially if you use a good quality store bought curd) but they are really delicious and impressive looking.
